Meet host Kim Myles, from Myles of Style.

Kim has lived in New York City for more than 10 years but it was her childhood in the suburbs that initially drove her to explore interior design as a personal interest. “Growing up in suburbia gave me an aversion to sameness,” she says. This hairdresser, who got her start designing her own clothing, jewelry and hats, has no formal design education but uses her city surroundings as inspiration in her design styles, which she describes as “global urban elegance.”

multiple levels of natural and spiritual resources in order to cultivate a space that is rich in life and “energy”.  

The overall design is low-to-no maintenance and instills a sense of calm for those who experience it. Generally, “Intelligent Landscape Design” is similar to Wabi-Sabi design in Japan, and works seamlessly with Feng Shui and the indoor living space.

Emerging as one of the most forward-thinking interior designers, Robin Lennon will change the way you think about your home.

Robin is a leading pioneer in integrating traditional interior design with ancient philosophy and modern theory, such as Feng Shui and color therapy. Her interior design firm, Inner Designs, based in New York City, has been creating highly personalized, intuitive environments for residential and commercial clients since 1979.

Robin abandons superficial methods of decorating - methods usually imposed by a rigid design standard - and asks each individual to look within themselves for their unique solid foundation, their unique lifestyle. Cognizance of natural materials, objects and experiences that invoke a surprising sensuality, tapping into personal strength; these are cornerstones to the journey towards holistic interior design - LIFE DESIGN.

On this episode of Inside Design, we will discuss her book, “Home Design from the Inside Out” and explore Robin’s revolutionary thinking on home design, and  what Life Design means for you.
